anybody with 5" downpipe?

so, my tv75 uses a 5" turbo. My last setup i just had dumped infront of the front tire. Thinking of doing it again with the 5. Now, i was wondering if anybody had a 5" DP on their car, or where they routed the big bastard?

well, i was thinking of deleting my heater and getting that AC box out of there and maybe trying to run it that way. Run it over the header than down through there past the firewall.

Going to have to do something crazy. I'm working on an ls1 with a tube k member and the 5" isn't going to go past it.

Those are the same ones he used on his build. To me for what they look like I would build my own and make them fit perfect...which is what I am doing! One down fall on the LT1 is the accesory bracket takes up alot of DP room...I was planning on a 4inch but that may be too close to the belt.

A buddy of mine split it up into dual 3.5 inch pipes and did a dual exhaust with it. He's running the S-91.
